Banner saying “protect Hong Kong, say no to degeneration” found along in Admiralty where protesters had stayed overnight. -- ST PHOTO: PEARL LIUSingapore state controlled newspaper on Sept 29, 2014 "Hong Kong protests: Tens of thousands now on streets, despite riot police withdrawal" http://www.straitstimes.com/news/asia/east-asia/story/standstill-parts-hong-kong-defiant-protesters-block-main-roads-20140929As you know, the Chinese people of Hong Kong are protesting in their thousands on the streets against the Chinese governments attempts to rig their election system to ensure only government nominated candidates win. It is reassuring and gratifying to see the courage of these people, fiercely jealous of their freedoms and saying those famous words of Patrick Henry in 1775 "Give me liberty or give me death". It is stirring and comforting to one's soul to see the Chinese of Hong Kong, courageous, proud and standing on principle in the face of terrible odds. You then turn to Lee Kuan Yew's Singapore and you are disgusted to see the complete reverse. The people of Singapore just like in Hong Kong are predominantly ethnic Chinese, the majority of them being brought into the island recently in Lee Kuan Yew's ethnic cleansing program to ensure the vast majority remain that race and no other. But these Chinese people of Singapore don't have one iota of the principles that their brethren in Hong Kong have. Although they know that their island is literally a dictatorship belonging to the Lee Kuan Yew family, first to the father and now the son, appointed by the father, they have no complaints whatsoever to live like this. The island has no free press, no right to free speech, expression or assembly, no rule of law where the courts are run by Kangaroo judges. Yet for fifty years the citizens of Singapore who are overwhelmingly Chinese have never found the courage to stand up for their rights and against these dictators. It is incorrect to say Singaporeans are not doing any protesting, they do in a rather indirect way. If you could call their refusal to have any children in the island, or mass migration for settlement abroad a form of protest, then they are protesting. Singapore has the lowest birth rate in the world, the largest ageing population and the world's highest rate of migration. You could say that even if the people have no balls, unlike the Hong Kong Chinese, to physically protest, to bring the Lee dictatorship down, they are doing it by simply disappearing through not having children, dying and emigrating. You could say, there are many ways to skin a cat. One thing is certain. If only Singapore island had just a few men of the Hong Kong type, Lee Kuan Yew would have been history a long time ago. Instead today, Singapore is populated by a bunch of timid souls who simply cannot stand up for anything. Which is why, the Singaporeans must be the dream population of any dictator in the world. With a society like this, you could rule forever.

What about Roy Ngerng and Han Hui Hui? Do they categorised them as cowards, suppliant, submissive, servile and supine, Mr Nair? They are fighting for the majority who dared not to protest. Are they fools or true patriots?

Well it is much easier to get rid of the Lee despots members than the Beijing despot huge weights...I'm pretty sure that the Lee will run out (like Ben Ali in Tunisia) after a few weeks of protest in SG...the pb is that SG people are not ready at all to sacrifice their lives for liberty...they still like more the illusion of wealth and the death of the soul that does have submission to the devil Lee....they are so depressed that they don't make children anymore, it is a country that disappears slowly by itself , that don't want to leave anymore for the future...very depressing

SG people are brainwhased.....so sad for them....they have not damn clue about freedom. Their think that wealth is a goo way to live, what a poor materialist approach.Each country deserves what is has...SG people don't fight for freedom so they don't have freedom.

The author’s diatribes about Singapore are always full of exaggerationsand inaccuracies. For example,“The people of Singapore ….. ethnic Chinese, the majority of them being brought into the island recently in Lee Kuan Yew's …”It is not true that the majority of ethnic Chinese Singaporean are new immigrants. Actually majority of them were born in Singapore.Perhaps he is referring to Indians in Singapore (a minority), among these, the majority are not native born (i.e., fresh from India).

" The people of Singapore just like in Hong Kong are predominantly ethnic Chinese, the majority of them being brought into the island recently in Lee Kuan Yew's ethnic cleansing program to ensure the vast majority remain that race and no other. "

If you don't understand english, at least read what the sentence carefully. What the author said that the a large number of chinese from other countries come to singapore -->>>RECENTLY<<<--- and become majority race ...

do you know what is "recently" ?

And beside , how you know that the author is exaggerating ? Any figure to show that he is exaggerating ? Or maybe you are PM Lee or related cronies who know the figure ?
